pretty much as the title says. I focus more on my body skin than anything I feel like my face looks young and body looks old and idk how to hands that. I feel like it just keeps getting worse and worse. even if mirrors aren’t around I still see mf hands arms and legs and I cannot handle it. it’s all I think about 24/7

basically, I have been paying monthly for my lower legs, armpits and Brazilian area. I’ve only had one session and I’ve only done one session of my lower legs. But I have been struggling with KP texture on my arms and I’m wondering if I can just stick with lower legs and not do armpits and Brazilian and just my forearms?

29f and last year I got diagnosed with rosacea so I have been dealing with that. My skin is slowly improving, but my pores and my tea zone have become and my face is constantly super oily. It gets really oily, even after like an hour or two after putting my makeup on I wear a very thin layer of foundation spot, concealer, liquid blush, and setting powder throughout the day I get so oily that it almost looks like my face is greasy, especially my forehead and the sides of my nose. I’m trying to look for products that friendly that do not have niacinamide. If anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate

29F and as the title says. im having a bad day today like most days. it always feels good to talk to someone that gets it

29F and the last year has been the worst. I’ve always struggled with being perfect and now that I feel like I’m not it’s like I would rather just skip forward to what I am. I’m constantly thinking I need to get done or things I want I have very mild KP on my arms that I hyper focus on ridiculously all day every day. I live at home right now and I do have a boyfriend the only time I really leave the house is to go see him or to go to work and all I think about with my money is what I can spend it on after I pay my bills to look better.

I just started a new job and I’m a nail tech so I’m in the beauty industry and two of the women that I work with said that I was really pretty which, for some reason made me almost forget how I felt for the rest of the day and then I woke up the next day, feeling like the ugliest person. If it’s not one thing, it’s the next. One minute it’s my next it’s my skin the next it’s the next it’s my hands. It’s just exhausting. I actually have days where I feel a lot better and it’s still there, but it doesn’t bother me as much and other days. I can’t even leave my room and I have to put blankets over my windows and just sit in the dark and let myself feel sad. I know people in their teens early 20s are probably reading this thinking I’m super old but the reality is still very young and I’m just scared. I’m wasting my life feeling like this my whole life I’ve never really had “flaws“ and now that I have little ones, I think I’m just like wrecked because I’ve always had OCD with my looks. Does anyone else struggle with anything like this ?

I feel like when I don’t check social media I have a better day and I feel better about myself because I’m not looking at fake people online and I’m seeing real people in real life that don’t look perfect. No matter how much I hit not interested or I restrict certain things that I don’t see they always still come back up for some reason and I don’t know if it’s just my FYP but it’s always talking about how important being beautiful is how to know if you’re ugly you’re pretty attractive and it’s just not helping me because then it makes me on it even more and it drives me insane. Has anyone else noticed this or is anyone else’s FYP like this?

29F and for the last year I have been the most depressed I have ever been in my life. At the age of 12 my dad was k-lled. I have been beaten and r@ped. cheated on by every guy that I have ever dated. and I can confidently say I would rather go through all that again than go through this deep feeing of pain and despair that I feel in the pit of my stomach everyday.

since going through this. I am obviously not fun to be around. I’m sad all the time. I can’t really pretend to be either tbh I’ve never been good at faking things. my own family and friends that I have had for years are sick and tired of me. it’s “too much for them and brings them down. it’s exhausting” It has really opened my eyes and if anything had made me more sad. people will scream to the rooftops that mental health matters up until sh\t gets real. Then it’s too much to deal with and you’re annoying.

The part that makes me the most angry is I’ve lost friends that I was there for YEARS with their problems and I never abandoned them. not one time. I don’t even want to get older because the older you get the less important you are. The less seen and heard you are.

yes I’m in therapy. No it doesn’t work. yes I’ve tried meds. No it doesn’t work. Everything is dumb

since I’m already getting comments.
i workout, don’t smoke or drink, walk out side at the park across the street, do self care, watching movies to calm me down, listen to music. Nothing helps. it’s not like I’m not trying. I am stuck. Idk how to not feel like this.

i’m also not saying that it’s everyone’s job in the world to care about how everyone feels that would be ridiculous. I’m talking specifically about people that You are close with in your personal life. Also do I like the things that happened to me? No. But they were hard times. The only reason I bring it up is to compare that pain to what I feel now. Everyone has been through some shit I’m not denying that. I am glad I made this post though because clearly a lot of people resonate whether they Feel this now or have before.
